President Donald Trump won’t visit Moscow for a Russian celebration in May, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said on March 10.

“We have been informed via diplomatic channels that the [American] president will not be coming,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. It isn’t clear who might represent the United States for Victory Day events, and the White House hasn’t publicly provided a reason.
